Online backup
|
Lotus Notes databases, mailboxes, and transaction logs can be
backed up without taking down the Domino server. This feature
ensures the availability of Lotus Notes services and data during
the Lotus Notes backup.
|
Restore operations
|
An administrator that uses the NetBackup client can browse Lotus
Notes database and mailbox backups and select the ones to be
restored.
|
Transaction logging
|
NetBackup for Lotus Notes takes advantage of the ability of
Domino to log transactions against one or more Lotus Notes
databases and mailboxes. Transaction logging may be circular style,
linear style, or archive style.
|
Point in time recovery
|
Transaction logging enables NetBackup for Lotus Notes to perform
a point-in-time recovery of a logged Lotus Notes databases and
mailboxes.
|
Tight NetBackup integration
|
Tight integration with NetBackup indicates the
following:
-
An administrator already familiar with NetBackup can easily
configure and use NetBackup backup and restore Lotus Notes
databases and transaction log extents.
-
Features and strengths of the NetBackup product suite are also
available with NetBackup for Lotus Notes. These features include
software data compression, scheduled and user-directed operations,
and multiple data stream backups. Many of these features are
described in detail in the NetBackup
Administrator's Guide, Volume I.
|
Central administration
|
Administrators can define Lotus Notes policies, back up and
restore Lotus Notes databases, and back up and restore
archive-style transaction log extents from a central location.
|
Media management
|
Lotus Notes database backups are saved directly to a wide
variety of storage devices that the NetBackup master server
supports.
|
Automated backups
|
Administrators can set up schedules for automatic, unattended
backups for local or remote clients across the network. These
backups can be full or incremental and are managed entirely by the
NetBackup server from a central location. The administrator also
can manually back up clients.
|
Compression of backups
|
Compression increases backup performance over the network and
reduces the size of the backup image that is stored on the disk or
tape. This feature is only supported for Lotus Notes clients on
Windows.
|
Checkpoint restart for backup jobs
|
With checkpoint restart, NetBackup can retry a failed backup
from the last checkpoint rather than restart the entire job. With
this feature, the NetBackup administrator can also pause a job and
resume it later.
|
Backups of Domino Partitioned Server
|
Administrators can back up databases from Domino partitioned
servers.
